Magdalena Solis biography
MAGDALENA SOLIS are a three-piece multi-instrumental illusory outfit formed in early 2009 in Brussels. The three art creators, through plenty of jam sessions and fruits of improvisation, have made music for people who allow their minds to travel to places it has never been, with many innovative instrumental stuffs and their Kraut-Psych-Avant soundscape. They consider that the most important should be neat creativity, not technology, to express light and liberation for people and 'amaze themselves', their adventurous policy.

MAGDALENA SOLIS released their debut EP 'Lady of the Wild Things' in 2010 via an independent label Reverb Worship (as a hand numbered edition of 50 copies), and have been busy in recording raw material or producing video clips.

After releasing a full-length album and two EPs, they were disbanded with stealthy announcement in November 2013.

3 stars 'Hesperia' is tending towards trance/space this time, a tad more accessible compared to the predecessor EP, even comprising one song which takes you on an extended nine minute excursion. MAGDALENA SOLIS are a Belgian outfit providing hallucinatory-transcendental stuff in the vein of the Kosmische Musik, dark mooded, other-worldly but still pleasant in some way. The band name refers to a High Priestess of Blood acting in an obscure Mexican cult around the 1960's. And in fact you might feel like getting a transfusion on some points when listening to this band.

Just concentrate, take care of all the details, preferably use your headphones - it's worth it ... and avoid to speculate how they are able to shift into such an irresistible mood when producing this songs. I would file the aforementioned long track Sisters Of The Twilight Mansions as the highlight here. We have an absolutely delirious and nightmarish start first until they finally turn to the right direction with a fantastic oriental trance behaviour, supported by tabla, scratchy synths and a celestial female voice.

You won't find a regular drum set included here, there is nothing which rocks really, so much the more all the songs are dominated by a spaced out flow. MAGDALENA SOLIS can be counted among the rare neo krautrock acts which reference but do not rehash. Their second EP is another promising hint pointing to the first full album 'Celestial Survival Machines', which is announced for 2011.

4 stars More hallucinogenic stickily fuzzy sound travel for another world.

Can it be said that MAGDALENA SOLIS could make a bigger success of their soundscape establishment? In the previous work "Lady Of The Wild Things" they threw us an intensive answer that they opened the curtain of Dreamland, with such a dry-fruity creation. Not simply for sounds & noises but also cosmic visual arts, in mesh ... that's the exact reason I call them as art creators, not (simple) musicians. They can let us go on a mind-expanding trip for a world reunited with our mind itself, with full use of various art material - ethnic, Oriental sound views and elements, eerie shouts from inferno, helter-skelter musical notes, graceful female whispers, beautiful percussive droplets, and simultaneously unified and refined sound arts ... we can enjoy, be immersed in their "cannabic" underground legally.

A great work indeed (and also their EP sleeves are very illusory).

4 stars Hallucinogenic dry-fruity psychedelia from Brussels. MAGDALENA SOLIS, a rock project by three versatile players, can open the novel experimental psychedelic curtain by means of their debut album "Lady Of The Wild Things". The first ghostly electronica "March Hare" is nothing but an entrance into the dream. Sounds dreamy especially the beginning of the following one "Count Your Blessings" but do not be deceived ... exactly this comfort is mind-expanding agent, that can draw your brain into intoxication. Without your intention, you will get palpitating with your deserted psychological depth, dragged by their cranky psychoactive creation named "The Pigs Monastery".

Swiftly run away from such a weird place into another comfort ... dry and spicy metallic-wind blows over the juicy fruit-garden. You can feel directly sweetness and sourness via "Jinxed". And very interesting is the next "Pink Sock Parade" (Oh, what happens?), with much ethnic flavour by a bugle or so - very good that the boo-boo bugle cannot be fit for beautiful female chorus. You can realize that's not simply a mellow dream, and they can manage their dreamy essence and eerie one both, the fullest use - e.g. "Temple Prostitutes" ... very amazing that Prostitute is exactly the opposite of Temple the solemn word.

Their energetic Kraut-ish debut shot can knock you over the real world, and you can never come back, bonded with the last dreamy orchestration. Recommended.

P.S. Oh, are the beautiful ladies in this brilliant sleeve not members of MAGDALENA SOLIS? Shame ... :-P

Thanks to DamoXt7942 for the artist addition.
